For VPN I use [Private Internet Access][0] it has access points in ~20
countries (include multiple in Canada). They also provided amazing
documentation on how to setup in virtual every environment. There is
also TunnelBear[1] which is a Toronto based company and has limited
Linux support though OpenVPN[2].

As for PGP Email tutorials I would suggest the EFF's [Email Self
Defense][3] guide. It's the best.

Also if you are becoming a "tin foil hat" type you should checkout
Tails[4]. It's a Live Linux OS that aims to "preserving your privacy and
anonymity" on the Internet.
